父亲的信（中英文双语版）(9)

[13] 你会失败多次但是如果你让失败打到了你，不再努力，你就会错过那种当你达到成就新高度的难以言喻的成就感。失败是成功之母。
You will fail many times but if you allow that to stop you from trying, you will miss out on the amazing feeling of success once you reach new heights with your accomplishments. Failure is a stepping stone to success.
生命不是一场竞赛Life Isn"t a Competition
[14] 你会遇到一些人他们总是试图超过你，在中学，大学，在工作中。他们想要拥有更好的车，更大的房子，更好的衣物，更酷的小玩意。对他们来说，生命就是一场竞赛---他们不得不比同辈做得更好来让自己感到快乐。
You will meet many people who will try to outdo you, in school, in college, at work. They"ll try to have nicer cars, bigger houses, nicer clothes, cooler gadgets. To them, life is a competition — they have to do better than their peers to be happy.
